Hermes demonstration

Demonstrations will take place in the ground-floor Ilima Court adjacent to the Hermes store at 11 a.m. both days, plus 2, 4 and 7 p.m. from May 17 to 21. Since 1937, Hermes has created more than 1,000 scarf designs. Artists work for a period of six months to a year before a design is approved for transfer onto silk, with about 15 designs introduced annually.

The event is free, and parking is available for $1 per hour for a maximum of five hours at the RHSC garage with validation at Hermes.
